Raspberry & Coconut Energy Bites

Delicious and healthy energy bites packed full of oats, peanut butter, freeze dried raspberries and shredded coconut. A tasty and nutritious snack that adults and kids will love!

For me, healthy eating is all about preparation. If I don’t have nutritious snacks at home or already packed in my bag when I go, I’m much more likely to reach for a chocolate bar. The same goes for the kids. When they are screaming for a snack mid-afternoon they are not going to wait 10 or 15 minutes for me to make something. It needs to be instant!

That’s why I absolutely love energy bites. They are packed full of nutritious and filling ingredients, making them the prefect snack for adults and kids alike. I have made lots of different versions of these over the past couple of years, including Chocolate Chia Energy Bites and Chocolate Orange Energy Bites. Today’s recipe is a new version, as I fancied something that tasted quite fresh and fruity for the new year!

I’m a big fan of freeze dried raspberries as they are a great way to add lots of flavour to sweet snacks. They can be expensive to buy in small packets in the supermarket so I get large bags like this one from Amazon. It’s much more cost-effective this way and the bag lasts ages.

My recipe will make 12 of these energy bites and they keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days, ready to pull out when the kids are shouting for a snack, or even to pop into your bag for a mid-afternoon snack at work or after the gym.

I LOVED this recipe! But I didn’t have any raspberries, so instead, I made a nut version. I added chopped pecans, diced almonds, and maple syrup. I rolled them in shredded coconut. I found heating it before making balls help the mix keep its shape. They smell so good! Dip in butter and enjoy!

My kids love it when I make energy bites. I love this recipe. They’re so pretty! My daughter really likes freeze dried blueberries but we haven’t tried raspberries yet. I love the idea of adding them as a coating. It makes your energy bites pretty and delicious. I’m going to have to make these for my kids. Though, I’ll make them with almond butter, one of my kids unfortunately has a peanut allergy. Thanks for the recipe!
